Tu: Hey, Todd, I heard you went to Vietnam. Tell me about it?
Todd: Yeah, it was a really good trip. I went during the break, and I was only there for seven days.
Tu: Oh.
Todd: Yeah, kind of too short. But I went to Ho Chi Min, and Mui Ne, and Nha Trang, so I saw three cities in seven days.
Tu: Ho Chi Min - where did you go in Ho Chi Min?
Todd: Ho Chi Min ... I just stayed downtown, and I didn't know anything really about the city so I just kind of walked around or I went jogging around the city.
Tu: How did you feel about it? The city I mean.
Todd: Well, it was amazing cause there's just so much energy, so much going on, you know. We'd say it's a bustling city, so you know, there's those motorbikes everywhere.
Tu: Yeah, that's foreigner talk. Motorbikes.
Todd: Yeah. 24 hours, too, it seems like they're always going, and there's lots of nice shops, and the food was really good.
Tu: Really.
Todd: Yeah, it was really good and really cheap.
Tu: Was it cheap, huh?
Todd: Oh, it was incredibly cheap. It was incredibly cheap. I couldn't believe the first night I had this really good dish with shrimp and vegetables and it only cost about three or four US dollars, so it was really cheap.
Tu: Two dollars.
Todd: Yeah, so good.
Tu: Did you go to Mui Ne?
Todd: Yeah, I did. I went to Mui Ne and ...
Tu: How was it?
Todd: It was good. I mean, I went there actually to surf. I heard it had really good waves but I was there during the wrong season, I guess, so I didn't surf, but they had this ...
Tu: Why?
Todd: Well, the waves were just ... there were no waves.
Tu: Oh, really?
Todd: Yeah, there were none.
Tu: OK.
Todd: But I saw the sandunes, and I was quite impressed.
Tu: The sand dunes. Yes, it is what Mui Ne is famous for.
Todd: I mean, it looks like you're in the Sahara Desert or in Africa.
Tu: Really?
Todd: Yeah, they're so big, and some places, when you stand, all you can see is the sand, like, you can't see anything else. It's pretty amazing.
Tu: Mm! It looks so beautiful.
Todd: It is. It is really beautiful.
Tu: I love it too.
Todd: And then the last day, I went to Nha Trang. Am I saying that right? Nha Trang.
Tu: Nha Trang.
Todd: Nha Trang.
Tu: Oh , yeah. The famous beach.
Todd: Yes, and that actually surprised me because Ho Chi Min was very old and very gritty and crowded and Mui Ne was kind of a very small traditional beach village, and then, Nha Trang was like this big city. It's like Waikiki in Hawaii. It was like a resort.
Tu: Yeah, yeah, it's very beautiful and like high quality.
Todd: Right, exactly.
Tu: High quality.
Todd: Exactly. I couldn't believe it. And I got a really great hotel, right on the beach, over-looking the ocean, third floor for only ten dollars a night.
Tu: Ten dollars?
Todd: Yeah.
Tu: Nice price.
Todd: So, I was very impressed. And you know, the food was good, and it was nice.
Tu: Did you get to go to Hanoi?
Todd: I didn't because I only had seven days, so you're from Hanoi right?
Tu: Yes, I'm from Hanoi.
Todd: Yeah, I should go there. I did like Vietnam a lot. I do want to go back, so hopefully, I can go back and go to Hanoi next time.
Tu: Next time I will be your tour guide.
Todd: Oh, thanks Tu. That would be great.
